Sticky Fingers- Checkpoint tags

Checkpoint tags are proven to be effective clothing security when fighting against shoplifters. What we don’t always think about is how these clothing security tags are effective against the sticky fingers of our employees.

It might seem like it would be the opposite- an anti deterrent, if you will. Employees know all of our secrets; they hold the bag of tricks. They have a full awareness of how the clothing alarm works, where the security tags on clothes are, and how to deactivate them.

Our employees are the ones who have access to the deactivator pads and hand held devices.

So how would these checkpoint tags work against employee theft when they know everything about them?

The answer is that ALL of the employees have this same knowledge. That means for an employee to go up to a register to deactivate a tag and there are no customers around, or they don’t deactivate a tag and set the alarm off- employees will notice.

Trust me, your employees see more than what they often admit to. They take note when employees are late to work or take longer/ too many breaks. They know when someone is slacking and when someone is pulling their weight. They will know when an employee is doing something they shouldn’t.

While these employees may not recognize that it is employee theft, they will recognize something as wrong. They may not tell you, but they will call out the other employee themselves if they have to.
